96 Appendix e Airport Operator interview Framework 1. Does your airport have a stand-alone Aircraft Recovery Plan? If so, would you be willing to share? If not, would you be willing to share the aircraft recovery section of your Airport Emergency Plan? 2. Does your airport require air carrier tenants to submit their companyâs Disabled Aircraft Recovery Plan? If so, which is responsible for obtaining these plans and making certain they are kept current? 3. Who at your airport is responsible for assisting the air- craft owner/operator in aircraft removal? 4. Please explain the type of assistance you provide the air- craft owner/operator with recovery/removal of disabled aircraft. 5. What type of equipment does your airport have on-hand or have easily accessible to assist in aircraft recovery? [The thought is that airports may not always have lum- ber, railroad ties, kitty litter, straps, tow bars, etc., on hand, but have a series of on-call suppliers and wood, vehicle and machine shops that may be made available for fabri- cation activities. Airports may want to be put on notice that these items might need to be included in airline or aircraft owner tenant agreements.] 6. Does your airport work with or recommend any third- party aircraft recovery companies to assist the aircraft owner/operator in the removal of disabled aircraft? 7. What, if any, prior agreements does your airport have in preventing further delays at your airport, in the case an aircraft recovery must be accomplished? 8. How can aircraft operators be better prepared for the recovery of their disabled aircraft at your airport? 9. Do you conduct regular aircraft recovery exercises for your personnel? What level of pre-planning takes place at your airport for recovery of disabled aircraft? 10. What command structure and communication lines are in place during the recovery of disabled aircraft at your airport?
